Stress is something everyone experiences from time to time — it’s a fairly unavoidable aspect of life. Chronic stress, linked biologically to obesity, also leads to health disparities such as obesity-inducing inactivity, the American Psychology Association reports. While this is a historically difficult to treat issue, a new study found a significant amount of weight loss in a low-income group through a free phone app. According to the study’s lead author, Gary Bennett, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, the research is among the first to ever report weight loss in a low-income population. “This study shows we can help patients who are most at risk by embedding treatment in primary care settings and keeping patients engaged using a simple app,” Bennett says.RELATED READ: Introducing a new Google Maps-like app that helps you find drinking water near youIn the study, published in the "American Journal of … [Read more...] about The key for low-income populations to lose weight?
